LOVE this recipe- we have Vegan with a Vengeance and made it with a vegan lasagna recipe. It made a tofu/vegan ultra-skeptic a tofu believer, to her dismay. Stands up well enough on its own spread on crackers and toasted bread as well.

I tried this recipe last night and my fiance and I loved it. I added it to the Portabello Mushroom Pizza recipe. I scooped out the gills of the mushroom and stuffed them with the basil-tofu ricotta and topped it with the gills. My fiance just added hot sauce after they were heated. He was impressed. He also had an idea to make it creamier and at it to a sandwich.

Was blah so I added 2 more garlic cloves, black pepper, some Mrs. Dash and the flavor finally kicked in. I will make it again with the adaptions I made.
